Have you ever sat on the side of your bed wondering where your life is headed?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leading up to my birthday, I had been experiencing some weird feelings around my chest area. Googling \u201cheart attack symptoms\u201d late at night was not on my 2020 or on my 2021 to-do list. We didn\u2019t expect a pandemic to be on that list either. But here we are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The typical signs and symptoms pop up. \u201cAbnormal Heartbeat, Anxiety, Tightness in Chest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some signs applied to me and others did not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On top of that, my days had been filled with frustration, anger, sadness around blackness in America. It hasn\u2019t been easy coping with death upon death while in an isolated environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There would be days I would sit and stare into space, have no interest in entertainment, and disconnect from social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After months of remote working, isolation, health-scares, and COVID-19, I finally took a self-love getaway. Yes, even during COVID-19. Travel is Therapeutic. And, I don\u2019t have any shame<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Why did I need it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFuck!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This word has so much meaning. It perfectly described my feelings the last five or six months reflecting the disgusting behavior by the U.S. government, police brutality, COVID-19 numbers, insensitive content\/memes I\u2019ve seen while on social media, and the bs happening at work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m a sensitive person, who is affected by negative and sad stories. They tend to stick with me beyond when I read or hear them. Even in my time off social media is affected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tightness in my chest and the buildup of anxiety has been plotting against me for a while. Instead, I decided to hide in my cave of doubt, frustration, anger, and sadness for months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I really had no place to go, especially since working from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am I grateful that I can safely remain home and work? Hell yeah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m also acknowledging the fact that mixing business AND pleasure under my roof hasn\u2019t been golden. And, it sure hasn\u2019t glittered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, to answer the question, \u201cWhy did I need a getaway?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A mental break is the simplest answer I can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh, and it was about time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Where did I choose to go?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
My birthday fell on a Sunday. Like most people this year, I had to reconsider my birthday plans. So, I planned to do nothing. Buuuut I didn\u2019t want to squander such a beautiful day on pitying myself and my mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, I hopped on the Airbnb <\/a>app and searched for availability around my area. I looked at Asheville, Greenville, Nashville, Charleston, and Augusta. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I ultimately didn\u2019t choose where to go. Airbnb<\/a> did. Here\u2019s how. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I knew I wanted to book a pet-friendly place near lots of trees and nature not too far from a major city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also didn\u2019t want to drive more than a couple of hours from my apartment, but I also wanted a place from which I could mentally disconnect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After browsing for an hour, I happen upon a quaint home in Augusta, GA. It was the home\u2019s feature that sealed the deal — the bathtub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yep. A bathtub. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once I confirmed my reservation, I took the day to pack, clean, and organize my plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was about to go on a self-love getaway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
What did I do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Do you remember the singer, Tweet? She sang her most famous song, \u201cOops (oh my)\u201d<\/a> with Missy Elliot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you do, then you know exactly what I\u2019m about to talk about. This post will remain PG-13 so don\u2019t worry. Ha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t know the song or singer, then take a moment to watch the following video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n<\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Because if you learn anything from this video, then you know the singer isn\u2019t talking about self-pleasure but rather self-love. Mmhmm\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how exactly did I engage in self-love during my getaway? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I reconnected with my body using four out of the five senses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hear: <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As I stood at the sink with the bubble bath going and candle light flickering, I pondered over the right playlist to set the mood. I had to get this right because I was trying to impress myself. Or, at least my mind, body, and soul that had been disconnected for months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I browsed through several Youtube playlists, but they didn\u2019t fit the mood. Either the tempo too fast or the words didn\u2019t match the moment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, I decided to re-download Spotify, while I checked on the temperature of my bubble bath. Not too hot, and not too cold. But, just right. (Or, so I thought — read below)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, I found a 90s R&B playlist that had loads of slow jams that included artists like Brandy, Monica, Jon B, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s something about those 90s artists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is all I did. Eat, Relax, Watch TV, Bath and repeat.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smell:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to my best friend, Nelda, who suggested taking a candle for my self-love getaway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I lit my candle and placed it on the floor. It danced about as the music was playing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the benefits of having a candle, the pleasant aroma that filled the bathroom. To breathe deeply and relieve the tension in my chest and body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before hopping into my long-awaited bath, I switched off the lights. I*n my Kevin Hart\u2019s voice*, it was about to go down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Touch:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>I eased my foot into the water like a pool or beach-goer would dipping their toes in to get the feel for the water temperature. Unlike the pool or beach, my foot submerged into a tub of what felt like lava. Without hesitation I switched on the cold water and watched it splash into the bath turning the water from lava-like to a warm, sudsy spa. When the water became more bearable, I slowly dunked my entire body down allowing the water to cover my legs and mid-torso.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That bathtub played a significant part in choosing that specific Airbnb. It had been ages since I soaked in the bathtub. And, finally, I could give my body the love and attention it needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enveloped in the warmth filled with <a href=\"https:\/\/fave.co\/348pP8b\">Dr. Teal\u2019s Eucalyptus and Spearmint soap<\/a>, a teaspoon of <a href=\"https:\/\/fave.co\/36iMNfE\">rosemary oil<\/a>, and a helluva lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/fave.co\/3kWCEcr\">Epsom salt<\/a>, my skin relaxed and soaked up these nutrients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted my skin and spirit to glow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ten minutes into my self-love bath, I caressed<strong> <\/strong>my arms. Inch-by-inch, I introduced the aromatic water to every bump, pore, and fine hair on my body.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sight:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The dimly lit room kept my thoughts focused on me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know how it is when you\u2019re looking around a room and get distracted by the things you see. Having such a dim room, I focused on the only thing I could see at the moment: my thoughts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I feel now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This trip wasn\u2019t about reliving the travel life that COVID snatched away from us. Don\u2019t get it twisted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was more about my mental capacity and my ability to take control over MY feelings. So, it\u2019s amazing how much difference a new scenery could make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that I’ve been back for a couple of weeks I think the greatest benefit has been that I feel more purposeful, focused, and clear-headed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I connected to a piece of me that was forgotten and hidden away for months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All I can think about now is: \u201cI like the me that feels free and to just be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Also, my mind is just more clear.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What will you do with a clearer headspace and rejuvenated purpose?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If I may make a suggestion . . .you could find a way to get to a more freer and focused you (<a href=\"https:\/\/gum.co\/qkilQ\">details right here<\/a>), or you can get started with my Reset & Refocus mini-trainings–90 minutes dedicated to reframing your mindset so that you can operate in your boldness and achieve your goals (<a href=\"https:\/\/gum.co\/rrRHV\">details here!<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So . . . if the travel part applies to you . . . and you’re desperate for a getaway, here’s your sign. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we\u2019re limited in where we can go, your bucket list location might not be an option right now.
